before the storm hits...

we got up to a balmy 34F today...

with plenty of sunshine...

but sometime later today...

its all going the change...

the winds are already making drifts on the east west roads...

so when more snow comes...

there will be no getting around...

Mr. Wiggles is not happy with the snow now...
just wait, buddy, its gonna get better...

the corn field...

squirrel tracks under the walnut tree...
they are all over the yard...

see...

not bad out today, but its going to get so bitter cold here by Monday...
we think we will be snowed in at least 3 days from this...
so, hunker down...
and stay put...
make sure you have all your shopping done ahead of the storm...
and shovel out around any fire hydrants...
just in case they are needed...
oh, what a wonder time spring will be...
I am just ready to see 40F again...
that would be enough to melt this off...
but I know the nitrogen from all the snow will make the flowers so pretty...
and the bitter cold will kill so many of those crazy bugs...
I think its time to pull out the boggle game...
;)
